The love of the stars & exploration has been with me since a child. Nowadays I can gaze at the heaven's in the daylight hours thanks to the internet & wonderful satellite links. Not to mention the many hours of delight I get from wrapping a blanket around me & going outside on a crisp clear B. C. mountain night & gazing up to an ever changing light show! Along with the lure of the stars is my love of Mother Earth & all the natural remedies she provides.

“Global Warming, as we think we know it, doesn't exist. And I am not the only one trying to make people open up their eyes and see the truth. But few listen, despite the fact that I was the first Canadian PhD. in Climatology and I have an extensive background in climatology, especially the reconstruction of past climates and the impact of climate change on human history and the human condition.

The IPSOS Reid November survey on Environmental Action revealed that 70% of respondents agree that “if drastic action is not taken to prevent the effects of climate change/global warming then the world may not last much longer than another couple of generations because of the damage that’s being done.”

However, there are a few respondents who disagree with the above statement (25%). I cast my vote with the 25% group due to the current state of our solar system and the effect our Sun is having on all it's Planets. Not to mention the shift we are experiencing as we hurl along through space on the edge of the Milky Way Galaxy.

Following is a small collection of some of the information going on in our Solar System and beyond that is not being included in the current hysteria surrounding 'Global Warming'.

I feel that the Sun and other celestial events are the main cause of Earth's warming and cooling trends for the Planets are heating up as well as Earth and there is no industry or pollution from human habitation on them that we are aware of.

Astrophysicists and Astronomers are also seeing that the whole solar system is undergoing such a change as noted by the information that follows:

Pluto is undergoing global warming, as evidenced by a three-fold increase in the planet's atmospheric pressure during the past 14 years, a team of astronomers from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Williams College, the University of Hawaii, Lowell Observatory and Cornell University announced in a press conference today at the annual meeting of the American Astronomical Society's (AAS) Division for Planetary Sciences in Birmingham, AL.

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and several ground-based instruments have detected temperatures on Neptune's largest moon have increased since the Voyager space probe passed by in 1989. Triton's surface of frozen nitrogen is turning into gas, making its thin atmosphere denser with the rise in temperature.

"At least since 1989, Triton has been undergoing a period of global warming, Percentage-wise, it's a very large increase." (James Elliot - Astronomer & Professor of Earth, Atmospheric & Planetary Sciences at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, .

The planet Mars is undergoing significant global warming, new data from NASA show, lending support to many climatologists' claims that the Earth's modest warming during the past century is due primarily to a recent upsurge in solar energy.Hot New Mystery Surrounds Saturn

For years astronomers have known that the upper atmospheres of Saturn and other giant planets are hotter than can be explained by absorbed sunlight. Today the mystery deepened.

Since the late 1970s, the amount of solar radiation the sun emits, during times of quiet sunspot activity, has increased by nearly .05 percent per decade,

The last solar maximum was in 2001, and on March 10, 2006 NASA researchers announced that the next cycle would be the strongest since the historic maximum in 1958 in which northern lights could be seen as far south as Mexico. Source NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center:
